The bitmapped graphics file is a .bmp file.
Graphic images where each pixel is bit-mapped and take up more memory?
Vector and bitmap are both image files. Bitmapped images are images that are stored on a pixel by pixel basis and because of this, when you enlarge the image it can appear blocky. A vector image is constructed from dots, lines, shapes, etc. Each part has a particular position within the image with it's own dimensions. Because vector images are constructed using images, they can be enlarged without loss of image quality. Vector images do not get the blocky appearance of an enlarged bitmap image.

.gif stands for: "Graphic Interface File"; they are 8 bit graphic images allowing for 256 possible pixel colours using the RGB colour formating system.
Vector and Raster or pixel images.
basically all this words refers to the same thing: pixel based images with difference that graphic are not taken with photo camera but rather drawn in some software and usually graphic contains solid colors only. Note that you can save images (graphics) in vector based format like svg for example but photos are strictly pixel based and taken with camera.
No. Raster images define images with pixels. But Vector images paint the pixels on your screen!

Excerpts from Microsoft Computer Dictionary (5th Edn):bitmap n. A data structure in memory that representsinformation in the form of a collection of individual bits.A bit map is used to represent a bit image. Another use ofa bit map in some systems is the representation of theblocks of storage on a disk, indicating whether each blockis free (0) or in use (1).bitmapped graphics n. Computer graphics representedas arrays of bits in memory that represent the attributes ofthe individual pixels in an image (one bit per pixel in ablack-and-white display, multiple bits per pixel in a coloror gray-scale display). Bitmapped graphics are typical ofpaint programs, which treat images as collections of dotsrather than as shapes. See also bit map.
